JESSIE JAMES
Jessica James was born on Oct 5,1989 in Brooklyn, Ny to Vincere and Danny James. At 6 months of age her parents moved to Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. A place they saw best fit to raise a young baby. Jessica's mother knew since she was a baby that she would be a singer. Not just because both her mother and father sang and played instruments, but because of Jessica's high pitch cries as a baby, her extreme interest for music and the amazing energy she had singing along with Whitney Houston's songs at a very young age. The first time Jessica, also known as "Jessie" sang on stage was when she was three years old; she sang "The Lord Is My Sheperd" at her church's children convention. This is when everyone realized she had talent. Jessica started writing her own songs when she was 7yrs old and even started her own little group called: Steps To Christ. Eventually she joined the childrens chior and recieved most of the major solo singing parts. In Febuary of 1999 Jessie moved to Limon, Costa Rica with her parents and youger brother Tyler James. When she arrived in Costa Rica "Jessie" was enrolled for middle school imediatley, at first it was hard because English was her first language and she did not speak Spanish so she had to learn the language. After three months Jessica learned to speak, read, and write spanish fluently; thats when she started writing her own music in english and spanish. After a while Jessie joined the youth choir; shortly after she joined a ministry group that traveled around the country to sing and act. Jessica James was known all around Costa Rica for singing at wedding receptions, graduations, funerals, baby showers, concerts and other events. In Oct of 2005 Jessica moved back to the U.S., to the state of South Carolina to finish High School. On June 1, 2007 Jessie graduated from Carolina High School and Health Academy; on this same day she sang to all her fellow graduates a very popular song by Yolanda Adams: "You Gotta Believe". No matter where she goes Jessica is always known for her beautiful voice. Jessica has always described music as being apart of her DNA and not just something she does. She has a great passion for helping people and making a difference in her community. Now, Jessica is an upcoming artist and songwriter ready to introduce her own style and flavor of music to the world. As of today she still strives to touch the hearts of many through her songs, her performances, and her life. www.reverbnation.com/jessiejames www.youtube.com/letasha05 www.facebook.com/jessiejamesmusic

D-MUN-E Stemming from a past of broken trust & disloyalty usually destroys a person; not for D-Mun-E. D grew up in Greenville, SC all of his life. Adopted by his grandparents because of a mother and father (whom has never been a part of his life) too young to care for him, he grew up in a middle class lifestyle. At the age of 10 was when he bought his first hip-hop album. That is where the passion all began. Once entering the teenage years, he soon began to realize the depth that friendship really stores. Because of a new wardrobe & choice of music, "friends" from his childhood began to disappear. Frustated, he turned to his lyrics as a way of escape from the anger and aggression built up inside. This is where the fire for the passion grew. It was no longer a hobby; it was life. At 21 years old, D-Mun-E has proven himself to be a man that will take on anything that life has to throw at him and keep on moving. "Failure is not an option. I will stop at nothing to show others who have been in a situation similar to mine that you can be yourself, and to hell with what everybody else thinks. Live YOUR life, and be what you wanna be.
BOO’SHAY Vice President/ Producer/ Artist at Roll Ready Records
I grew up an adopted little kid from the Bronx so music w me through the hard times, but I never pictured I'd be do ways dibbed and dabbed with writing lyrics but it wasn't Ricky Prince.

It's crazy but yet amazing someone can make they're making history. We've been through our ups and ous situations due to unloyal people that eventually fade one of the original members of Roll Ready so that's how President. That, loyalty, and being true to yourself can re way in music or life in general for that matter. For the mo have a passion for music. If it wasn't for music there's no would be. I think I speak for all artists when I say becaus was inspired by some type of music whether it's gospel, try, etc. so the average musician would be lying to you if they never had an inspiration.
